I totally agree with the Deputy that we need a holistic response that is about prevention and harm reduction and that treats this as a health issue as well as a criminal justice issue. The legislation the Minister has promised is on the way. I do not have a timeline for it yet but I know the Minister is committed to tightening our laws around people who direct others to commit crimes and people who groom children to commit crimes. That legislation is pending.
